It blows my mind that apparently the bullet bounced off his femur without breaking it, passed his knee without damaging it much and is now sitting in his calf. It was a .45 cheapo winchester round (not hollow point).

Doesn't surprise me, depending on the angle.

Something about bullet deflection - granted these are much lighter projectiles:

no way dude. look you dont know what youre talking about. bullets only get left in when surgeons are lazy. humans cant survive with metal inside them like that.

How do you explain any number of people with rods, staples, wires, and other assorted metal goodies holding them together then? And as previously stated, it would sometimes cause more damage to remove the bullet than to leave it. Some people do get hit with buckshot or FMJ you know. In my case it was a .25 FMJ.
